Seven more arrested over conspiracy to commit arson at another Jewish site
Suspects arrested within the past 48 hours over an alleged conspiracy to commit a further arson attack, although the specific target is not yet known
Seven more people have been arrested following a series of arson attacks on Jewish sites in London.
The Metropolitan Police said the suspects were arrested within the past 48 hours over an alleged conspiracy to commit a further arson attack, although the specific target is not yet known.
Since late March there have been arson attacks on Jewish community ambulances in Golders Green, two synagogues and a former Jewish charity, as well as an incident where a drone was flown near the Israeli embassy.
The latest arrests by detectives from Counter-Terrorism Policing London, saw three men aged 24, 25 and 26 held in Harpenden on Sunday, and on Monday a 25-year-old man arrested in Stevenage, as well as a 26-year-old man and two women aged 50 and 59 detained in a car near Birmingham.
